Just wondering, suppose I stuck my loaded SR9E in the freezer overnight and then got it out and quickly went out back to shoot it? Would it function normally?

Try it! It ain't gonna hurt a thing. :wink:
Response:
Thank you for your inquiry. I'm sorry, I am not able to give you any information on how the pistol was tested, in different temperatures, etc. I haven't heard of any of our customers having issues or needing repair after using the firearms in extremely cold temperatures, and I do not have any advice on any particular special care that would need to be taken. Thank you again for your email.

When I got hooked on the Springfield XDm pistols in .45acp, it didn't hurt that one of the shooting shows on
Midway's "Wednesday Night At The Range" was doing an ongoing torture test of these same pistols. I can't remember if they froze one or not, but I do remember them dragging them behind a big SUV, driving over the pistols, burying them in dirt, then rinsing them out, then throwing them into a pond, etc.
It's nice to know if your pistol can take serious abuse. Gunny, let everyone know if you try this experiment? - DixieBoy
